I have seen the same four or five images of Mam Zindzi Mandela being shared. This always worries me cause images colour our perspective and can drive us to see a person only one way. Here is a thread of lesser-seen images of the woman we lost today.

“When I say I am a Black feminist, I mean I recognize that my power as well as my primary oppressions come as a result of my Blackness as well as my womanness, and therefore my struggles on both of these fronts
are inseparable.”
~ Audré Lorde
I am black and I matter.
I am black and I have dreams.
I am black and I have a family.
I am black and I take pride in it.
My life matters.
